Rex Features

Gavin & Stacey's Vanessa Jenkins and Bryn West - a.k.a. actors Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon - have topped the UK singles chart.

Their Comic Relief single 'Islands In The Stream', which also features Tom Jones and Bee Gee Robin Gibb, debuts at number one this week.

Jenkins told the Official Chart Company: "I'm not gonna lie to you, it made my week workin' with Tom again. We go back a long way. Simple as.

"And as for Robin, he's been beggin' me for years to be my backing singer. I'm only glad this single could make his dream come true. Tidy."

Last week's number one, 'Right Round' by Flo Rida, falls to two, while The Saturdays slip to three with their own Comic Relief effort 'Just Can't Get Enough'.

Meanwhile, Oasis notch up their 23rd top ten hit this week, debuting at ten with 'Falling Down'.

Outside of the top ten, September lands at 14 with 'Can't Get Over', while Beyoncé climbs from 40 to 20 with 'Halo'.
